During the latest episode of Vanessa's show, a female named Julia took part in the phone in and revealed that she was struggling with her divorce – four decades after signing the papers to cement the end of her marriage. As Vanessa reflected on her own divorce from Kurer, she became emotional.

She said: "I can almost feel it being broken and just like Julie's still crying nearly 40 years later, it doesn't necessarily just snap back together. I think it depends how wholeheartedly you believed in the marriage, if you really thought - I know I really did - that you're doing this forever and ever and every word spoke is true, is basically going from your mouth right to the angels, because you are properly truly in love and this is going to last forever and all the promises are real.

"Then when you think about it the way Julie is, I'm not in the least bit surprised she's crying now." Lizzie went on to add: "It's make me cry now actually, it really is. Because you want it to be forever, you get married for it to be forever and that's what I felt Vanessa.

"And I was like you at a friend's wedding and found myself overcome with emotion because I hoped my marriage would last forever." Later in the show, Lizzie opened up about the toll the breakdown of her marriage had on her.

The 56-year-old who often delights fans with her racy snaps on social media said: "At the time it broke my heart. As I said, I think I had a breakdown, I didn't eat, I lost an incredible amount of weight. I was very upset and Vanessa you were there and supporting me very much."

Nowadays though, Lizzie has a much better relationship with her ex-husband. She explained that it was crucial that she and Jason became friends. "There's no point being bitter and angry and that does go. And when I see him now, I don't think of that at all," Lizzie said.

Speaking previously about their divorce and Jason's infidelity, Lizzie said on : "I was hiding a lot of pain and I wouldn't wish divorce on anyone." She added that she fell in love shortly after their split but the relationship didn't work out. "He's in the book it was a big part of my life.

"In some ways it helped my get through my divorce, I know I was quite low, it was pretty tough and I didn't want to live at times," she added.

Vanessa airs at 12.30pm Monday to Friday on Channel 5 and is available to stream.
